Thorough maintenance extends the service life of your appliance

Graco appliances can easily last years. Some painters even use the same equipment for decades. There is one condition, though: it’s all down to maintenance. With the help of a Service Partner, you can sleep soundly at night for many years, who knows, even decades …

Does your machine refuse to prime, or does your tip repeatedly block? From research, we know that in most cases, the cause is due to lack of maintenance.
 

Good maintenance starts with yourself, but you are not alone. A Service Partner will not only give you advice, he can also check your spraying equipment and detect minor problems in good time. That way, you avoid major defects that cost a lot of money. So the message here is to have your appliance checked on a regular basis.

According to Jonas Makauskas of UAB Silda (Lithuania), maintenance starts at the time of sale: "When we give customers instructions on how to use and clean their appliance, we find that they have fewer problems. They use the equipment with confidence and avoid problems caused by ignorance.”
 

Pascal Besciajian of Locapeint tells us the same story: "When we sell an appliance, we explain how it works on site. We emphasise the importance of proper cleaning. Ten minutes is enough to clean your equipment properly. But if we don't tell them that, the customers won’t do it.”
 

Finally, Jonas has a specific tip. One phenomenon that comes up on a regular basis is that customers want to start the weekend as soon as possible and neglect the cleaning job on Friday afternoon. The Monday after, the equipment fails to start - the paint ball is stuck - and they end up with us. We call this as ‘Hard Monday’, he laughs.
